I loved the diversity of Aragon High School. It really helped me to respect other cultures more as well as explore my own, because I'd never gotten the opportunity to go to school with other Polynesians. I felt the deepest sense of community I have ever felt, especially in the theater and basketball programs which are both headed by amazing leaders who were like my second fathers. However, my AP English Lang teacher once said, "The air we breathe at Aragon is competition" and that could not be more true. Students here strive to be the best of the best, many taking oceans of AP classes, diving into intense extracurriculars, and perfecting their college applications. The pressure can get deafening, but Aragon's support services like the counselors are beyond amazing people who can help you better yourself. Admin are a bit polarized because they can be wonderful or unleash their wrath upon you, just depends who you are.
I graduated from Aragon High 6 years ago and when they ask me about my high school experience I say it was excellent. I especially felt supported by my AVID teachers who helped me overcome school and home struggles. Also, Aragon high challenges you academically and prepares you for college in a way no other high school in the San Mateo district is capable of. I always had troubles with Algebra and Geometry and was able to receive free after school tutoring from my peers and also teachers. Receiving free tutoring from people who I am comfortable with helped me succeed in classes. Senior year I remember having a difficult time at home and felt supported by everyone at the office. As well as having a hard time at home a friend and fellow Aragon student took their life in 2014 and the entire student body was giving the option to free counseling to be able to talk about our traumas of losing a friend. Aragon does their best to make sure all their students are taken care of.
The Aragon community is very diverse where everyone can see it as their second home. Even though I only started studying here for almost 2 years, I have had the most wonderful time in high school I could have ever wish. The students here are enthusiastic, charismatic, energetic, and talented. Everyone is kind and care toward each other and conflict is rare. From this environment, everyone could express their feelings, opinions and ideas without judgement. Aragon is a safe place for all and everyone is included. I totally honor the friends and teachers who have help me to blossom and encourage me to achieve my goals. I love Aragon High School
